The morning light was gentle, and the entire church in the east of the city was exquisitely decorated. There were beautiful corridors of flowers, ribbons, balloons, and so on. The faint fragrance of wine wafted far away.
“Why isn’t the bridegroom here yet?”
A grand wedding was about to be held there, and all the guests had already arrived, including the bride and her relatives.
Stephanie accompanied George. Upon hearing the guests‘ discussions, she looked around curiously.
Claire wore a strapless gauze wedding dress and exquisite bridal makeup, but she looked a little anxious.
Stella walked toward Claire to avoid embarrassment and asked her in a low voice, “What’s going on? Didn’t you and Kevin come here together?”
“Yeah, we have been waiting for him for a long while. Could it be that he was too happy last night and got drunk with his friends in the hotel? Has he not woken up yet?” Courtney asked nervously
Claire looked anxious and explained, “Kevin said there was an emergency at the company. The wedding car arrived first, and he would be
here soon
“Today is his wedding, but he is still busy with company affairs. Does he want to embarrass us?”
Samantha also came. She was very dissatisfied with the Nelson family’s mistake.
There were many guests there. Courtney was Claire’s only family, so the Reed family came to the wedding to support Claire. This wedding was held in the name of the Nelson and Reed families. If anything unexpected happened, the scene would be really embarrassing
“Men should put their career first. Be patient,” Gary said sternly.
Stella, of course, thought her son was not wrong She smiled, “There must be something very urgent at the company. Kevin will be here soon. Let’s have something to eat first…”
Stephanie felt a little bored. She didn’t want to attend the wedding at all. Seeing George talking with his old friends, she walked to the open dessert buffet in front to get something to eat.
“Get out! You’ve soiled my wedding dress.” Suddenly, there was an angry curse from Claire.
A girl’s scream followed. At a loss, the girl looked at the small footprints on Claire’s long white gauze and quickly squatted down to wipe the stain hard with her hands while shedding tears.
But the girl’s behavior made Claire angrier. She yelled at the girl, “Get out.” Thinking of Kevin’s delay and looking at the child in front of her,
she felt even angner.
“What’s wrong?”
Stella and the others heard the child’s cry and Immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Instantly, Stephanie became the focus of people’s attention.
She was stunned, looking down at the girl hiding behind her in confusion.
“Don’t hit me…” The girl tried her best to hide behind Stephanie as if she was scared.

Stephanie knew that this was Kevin’s daughter.
“She
he looks scared.”
When Stephanie saw Stella and the others approaching her, she said lightly.
Claire lifted the hem of her wedding dress and walked up to Stephanie. Her expression was not friendly. She looked at the girl and said, “Joyce, come to me.” Her tone was cold as if she was ordering the girl.
Joyce clenched the corners of Stephanie’s clothes and refused to let go. Stephanie was a little embarrassed.
“Joyce, come here.” Stella stepped forward and looked at her granddaughter. Her usually serious face became gentler.
Joyce looked at Stella for a while, then ran over and hugged her.
“Why was that girl hiding behind you just now? What did you do to her? You are now a married woman. Don’t try to play tricks.”
Gary started at Stephanie, whom he had not seen for a long time, and said harshly.
Stephanie bit her lips and didn’t speak, feeling angry.
No matter whether she was right or wrong, he always blamed her. That was her biological father.

“Enough. There are so many guests here.” Samantha walked up to Stephanie and held her hand affectionately. “Steffi, where is Dominick? Who did you come with?”
Stephanie felt uncomfortable being held by Samantha, She replied Sightly, “Dominick went to Aurorastra. I came with George”
Upon hearing this, Samantha immediately chuckled, “Oh, George also came here. It’s really a great honor. Where is he? I will go over to say hello to him and thank him for helping us during this period…”
Last time, after the Reed family asked Dominick for financial help, Dominick not only solved their financial problems for them but also let them participate in many large projects.
More than half of the Reed family’s project investments relied on the Wellington family.
“Claire married Kevin, but she is an outsider to some extent. My granddaughter is the best.”
Samantha, in a good mood, touched Stephanie’s head and praised her.
Stephanie was expressionless. She was not close to Samantha, who was too snobbish. She didn’t like her.
“Steffi, I’ll tell you something. You have to remember them,”
Samantha lowered her voice and reminded Stephanie mysteriously, “Men like the feeling of freshness and excitement. Although you are pregnant now, you should be proactive in some things…”
“I know,” Stephanie blushed and immediately interrupted Samantha.
“Your mother is gone, so I have to tell you these things… Anyway, you should be smarter. Even if Dominick has a mistress, you can’t offend him or quarrel with him. You are pregnant. With the child, your position in the Wellington family is guaranteed…”
Samantha talked endlessly.
Feeling annoyed, Stephanie deliberately raised her voice and said, “When does this wedding start?”

Her voice made the guests discuss again. The bride was already here, but the bridegroom hadn’t been here yet.
“Why are you here?”
Claire was in a hurry to call Kevin, but when she turned around, she saw Jessica. Her face darkened instantly. “You are not welcome here.”
She was already dissatisfied with Stephanie’s presence at her wedding today, but Stephanie came here with George, so Claire couldn’t drive her away. As for Jessica, she could kick her out directly.
“I came here with Mr. Pearson,” Jessica said, smiling brightly.
The Pearson family was well known in Frostvale. Claire didn’t remember that she had sent an invitation to the Pearson family. The man had been there, and she dared not to offend him.
“Claire, your wedding is really lively. How could I miss it?”
Jessica stepped forward and whispered in Claire’s ear
“What d
do you mean?” Claire suddenly became nervous.
“Here comes the bridegroom! He is coming”
A black Ferrari drove over, and someone in the crowd cheered loudly, “Kevin, you kept us waiting for so long.”
Claire looked at Kevin, held the wedding dress hem, and immediately walked up to him. She said coquettishly, “Why did you take so long?”
“Okay, everyone, please enter the church. The wedding will begin now,” Stella said to the guests with a smile.
She walked to
to Kevin and lowered her voice to remind him, “Your grandpa is here today. Remember to say hello to him.”
The guests sat down with smiles on their faces. They were looking forward to the wedding
Then, the wedding march started.
Kevin and Claire approached the stage together, but..
The guests sitting on both sides noticed something strange. They found that Kevin didn’t look straight ahead or at Claire beside him. Instead, he stared at a woman on the left in the first row of seats.
Stephanie was puzzled by his gaze. ‘Why did Kevin stare at me?”
Some guests were whispering, “Kevin has been staring at his ex–wife…
“Could it be that they rekindled the lost love?”
“It’s impossible. Stephanie’s husband is Dominick, the heir of the Wellington family.”
Claire felt anxious and reminded Kevin in a low voice, “Kevin”
Kevin suddenly stopped and turned to look at Claire beside him.
“Kevin, are you feeling unwell? What’s w
wrong with you?” Being stared at, Claire felt a little nervous for no reason.
Kevin did not answer. He let go of Claire’s hand expressionlessly and strode to the stage. Then, he pushed the priest who was presiding over the wedding away and snatched the microphone from his hand.

“What’s going on?”
The guests were surprised..
“Kevin, what are you doing?”
Stella found Kevin was so unusual and hurriedly stood up from
her seat.
But before she could dissuade him, she saw Kevin looking around coldly with the microphone in his right hand.
Kevin suppressed his anger and said, “The wedding is cancelled!”
